The Cape May shuttle is an excursion shuttle that can be booked as part of a round-trip ferry passage from Lewes. The shuttle travels a single route between the Cape May Terminal and the Cape May Welcome Center at 609 Lafayette Street; there are no other stops.
The Shuttle will take passengers with return tickets to the Cape May Welcome Center in Downtown Cape May, and then pick them up at the same location to return to the Cape May Terminal.
Shuttle drivers will provide a schedule for returning passengers, with the final departure from the Welcome Center at 5:00 p.m. for the 6:00 p.m. sailing to Lewes.
It is the passenger's responsibility to be at the Cape May Welcome Center on time for the shuttle pickup.

The route will serve the Lewes terminal, the town of Lewes, and the Lewes Park-n-Ride. Passengers going to the Tanger Outlets or the cities of Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City, Maryland, must transfer to route 201 or 203, respectively. Route 201 will take riders to downtown Rehoboth Beach. Route 203 will take riders to Dewey Beach, Sea Shore State Park, Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island, and the Ocean City, Maryland Convention Center.
DART route 204 does not run on Sundays, but routes 201 and 203 will. Passengers traveling on Sunday must find alternative transportation to Lewes, the outlets, and the city of Rehoboth Beach.

However, the pickup for the DART 204 is at the corner of Savannah Road and Third Street (in front of the Zwaanendael Museum).
